For New Book, Halperin Latches On To A Less Relevant But Still Provocative Judith Regan | Talking Points Memo

Disgraced pundit Mark Halperin has turned to a somewhat-faded but once-explosive name for his new book: Judith Regan.

Some nobody like me would be fired. Period. Get your things and get the fuck out.
These jerks are put into exile and then brought back. How do they do it? Are they that valuable? Can no one else do what they do just as well? Have they gone through some purification ritual hung by the flesh of their shoulders or flog themselves into a bloody mess? Maybe Regan is some proxy St. Mary with boundless powers of granting redemption to venial sinners.

When he apologizes for his slander of Obama and Hillary AND he really atones for the way he treated women then and only then should we consider allowing him back on the playground. Until then, let him work at something he may be more qualified for–mastering the meat slicer at Arby’s…

Sleazy, slimy, and salacious.

The book, “How To Beat Trump,” is slated for release in November by Regan’s company, Regan Arts. On the book’s cover, Regan Arts promises that the volume will offer insights from “America’s top political strategists on WHAT IT WILL TAKE” to beat President Trump in 2020.

If we need Mark Halperin to save the day, it’s midnight and the day is lost. This deserves a firm thanks, but no thanks; we’ll manage just fine without him or Judith Regan, for that matter.

Halperin, Charlie Rose, Kerik…sheesh…she’s a one woman “you too?!” movement.

On top of everything else, Halperin promoted Trump in 2016. It was painful listening to him on various MSNBC shows.

Halperin is a very nasty piece of work. So too is Judith Regan.

That said, I’m not sure that I understand the criticism in this context. Are we saying that sexual harassers shouldn’t write books?

I still think he is kind of a dick today.

Halperin is such a stellar example whose fame (his most valued currency) and money are spectacularly undeserved. While it is a fair question as to when he should be allowed to crawl out of under a rock, the answer is two-fold:

  1. Long after Trump is out of office (hopefully in prison);
  2. When his victims weigh in. Let them help decide.

Given the harm Halperin inflicted in helping Trump get elected I don’t ever want to hear from him.

Anybody and anything that primarily attacks/damages Democrats is considered valuable to the right wingers.
